WFI Searching for Volunteer Help

Wichita Festivals is searching for enthusiastic volunteers to contact potential retail businesses to sell buttons for Riverfest 2010.

Volunteers will be assigned different areas of the city to locate and make contact with potential retailers to sell Riverfest buttons in their stores. Each volunteer will confirm participation from the respective retailers they’ve secured and deliver buttons to them for sale in their stores at the end of March.

The goal of this outreach is to make Riverfest buttons available in more locations across Wichita so Wichitans and visitors can easily locate them for purchase.

We ask that volunteers have a strong customer service and sales background, be able to drive, and able to lift 10-15 pound boxes when delivering the buttons.

This is a wonderful way to support a 39-year community tradition in Riverfest as well as putting your time and talents to good use!

For more information about this volunteer opportunity, click here or contact Kim Wickliffe, WFI Volunteer Manager, at (316) 267-2817 or kimw@wichitafestivals.com.

Stuff the Bus a Success

Thanks to everyone who participated in Stuff the Bus this year! We were one of the first stops for the large Wichita Transit bus and already, the bus was starting to get full!

Stuff the Bus runs until the end of the week so if you still want to donate items, you can find a list of drop-off locations at B98's website.

Here are some pictures from the time the bus arrived to the arrival of Brett Harris, from B98's 'Brett & Tracy' morning show, to the stuffing of the bus:
